How much do I earn with Stranger Talk Refer & Earn?

Users in India earn ₹1 for every verified friend. Once ₹10 is ready, a Claim box opens in the app. You email your UPI ID and the Stranger Talk team pays by UPI after a manual check, usually within 7 days.

When does a friend count?

A friend counts after they join with your code or link, install the app, have 3 good chats with different people on 2 different days, and pass a 48-hour safety check.

Can I make extra accounts to count myself?

No. One person is counted only once. Invites from your own phone or repeated phones are not counted, and suspicious invites are reviewed.

Rules that keep it fair

One person can be counted only once. Invites from your own phone, from the same phone used again, or from fake accounts do not count. Up to 20 friends can be added per day. If a friend is banned within 30 days, that ₹1 is removed or taken off your next claim. We can pause or change the money part at any time. Some invites go to a quick admin review, and you can see the reason on your screen.

The full rules are in our Terms (section 25), and what we store is in the Privacy Policy.

Common questions

Do I get real money?

Yes, if you live in India. You get ₹1 per verified friend and can claim by UPI once you have ₹10. It is a small thank-you reward, not a job or income.

Where do I enter a referral code?

On the start screen there is an "Have a referral code?" option. If you opened a friend's link, it is filled in for you.

Can I see where each friend is?

Yes. Your Refer & Earn screen shows how many friends are at each step. Tap a step to see those friends and their tick list.
